Resolves #95. Adds length check constraints in the DB as abuse backstops and explicit validations in the UI for prompt upload.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Added 100-character title and 15,000-character prompt limits when uploading or editing prompts. Over-limit changes now display an error and are not submitted.
    • Unchanged titles or prompt text that already exceed these limits can still be saved.

lgtm overall @rahulkr182 , few things before it can go in

the migration timestamp 20260915000000 is older than the ones already on main (latest is 20260922140000), and supabase db push won't apply one that's out of order. rename it to something like 20260923000000_add_prompt_length_constraints.sql
run npm run db:schema and commit supabase/schema.sql, that's why db:schema:check is red
the limits are too low. we already have a live prompt that's ~11.8k chars, so 10000 would lock its owner out of editing it. let's do 20000 in the db and 15000 in the form (also add the same limit to the edit modal textarea, not just upload)
title limits are fine as is

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The edit and upload forms now validate prompt titles and text against length limits. The edit form allows unchanged legacy values above those limits to be saved.

Changes

Prompt length validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Client-side prompt validation
src/components/prompts/EditPromptModal.tsx, src/components/prompts/EditPromptModal.test.tsx
The edit form limits titles to 100 characters and prompt text to 15,000 characters. Save validation rejects over-limit changes, while tests cover saving unchanged legacy values above the limits.
Upload form validation
src/pages/Upload.tsx
Submission stops with a destructive toast when the title exceeds 100 characters or prompt text exceeds 15,000 characters. The prompt textarea limits input to 15,000 characters.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: aashu2006


Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0264a

The UI now validates over-limit edits while allowing unchanged legacy values to be saved. No new database or schema-workflow failure is established, so the change is ready for normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6f1df

The new limits strengthen protection against oversized prompts. However, existing prompts above the database limit could become impossible to edit, and a failed edit that replaces an image could leave the new upload behind. Whether affected prompts exist is unknown.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: If historical prompt text exceeds 20,000 characters, an otherwise valid edit resends that text and fails the new database check. When the edit also replaces an image, the upload can remain after the failed row update.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The affected write boundary is the shared prompts table. The inspected update path remains restricted to the authenticated owner's row, and the new database checks narrow permissible stored lengths rather than widening access.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The 100- and 15,000-character form limits are not the database contract: database checks allow up to 250 and 20,000 characters. Ownership is enforced separately by the update policy.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — For an affected historical row, repeated edits with a replacement image could repeatedly upload storage objects without updating the prompt: the modal cleans up the old image only after a successful row update, not the newly uploaded image after failure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Check for historical rows above the new limits and define their remediation before relying on successful validation; remove a newly uploaded replacement image when its row update fails.

nice work @rahulkr182 , having DB constraints as a real backstop is exactly what I wanted 👍

One thing I feel missing is that the edit modal doesn't check the title length. So on edit, someone can save a title longer than 100 characters, and if it's over 250 they get a raw DB error instead of a proper message. Can you add the same title check there, plus maxLength={100} on the title input? Also left an inline.

one small nit too, should be good to go after that!

🟡 Minor · Validate legacy prompt text against the database limit. · EditPromptModal.tsx:78

src/components/prompts/EditPromptModal.tsx:78
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate legacy prompt text against the database limit.

If an existing prompt body exceeds 20,000 characters, the unchanged-text exception bypasses the 15,000-character check. The update then sends that body to updatePrompt, and the database constraint can reject the update. The modal shows the generic Update failed message instead of a prompt-length message.

Suggested fix
     if (promptText !== initialPromptText && promptText.length > 15000) {
       toast({
         title: "Prompt too long",
         description: "Please keep your prompt under 15000 characters",
         variant: "destructive",
       });
       return;
     }

+    if (promptText.trim().length > 20000) {
+      toast({
+        title: "Prompt too long",
+        description: "Please shorten your prompt to 20000 characters or fewer",
+        variant: "destructive",
+      });

thanks @rahulkr182 , title check and tests look good 👍

just two small things before merge:

  1. Rename the migration. 20260923000000 is now older than migrations that are already live (#140 shipped 20260925000000), so it'd be applied out of order. Can you rename it to something newer, like 20260929000000_add_prompt_length_constraints.sql?
  2. Merge main and regenerate the schema. schema.sql conflicts now since #112 and #140 added to it. Don't fix it by hand, just take main's version and run npm run db:schema after the rename.

then we are good to go!
